There is provided a method for phase extraction between coupled atom interferometers using ellipse-specific fitting. The method includes fitting an ellipse to data representing a first gravimeter measurement and a second gravimeter measurement, and determining a phase shift between the first gravimeter measurement and the second gravimeter measurement based on a spread of the data around the ellipse.
摘要:
Conventional surface gravity measurements, either land, sea, or sea bottom, are made along a line that lies approximately along the same surface orientation as the deviated well. Borehole gravity measurements are made in the deviated part of the well along the wellbore at stations lying approximately below those taken on the surface. The gravity difference is computed from the station pairs. From the gravity difference and the vertical distance between the two readings, the average density is computed for all the station pairs. From a depth model interval depths at each layer between the surface and the borehole stations are computed. The average density between any station pairs can be related to the interval densities and the layer densities are calculated.

A method for determining a set of surface locations lying along a predetermined line of survey beneath which there is a relatively high probability of existing subsurface mineral bodies exhibiting relatively high density and relatively low magnetic susceptibility by selecting for membership in said set those surface locations lying in regions where a local minimum of magnetic field intensity substantially correlates to a local maximum of gravitational field intensity, those surface locations lying within regions of local topographic irregularity wherein the gravitational field intensity substantially directly correlates with the surface elevation, and those surface locations lying within regions wherein a steep gradient between a local maximum and an adjacent local minimum of the magnetic field intensities substantially directly correlates to a steep gradient between a local maximum and an adjacent local minimum of the gravitational field intensities.
